Photo Contest Part Deux and Helping Students

One display down, another to take it's place. The library photo contest is going on and we wanted to spread the word. I took a hint from Pinterest and made a display based on a paper camera invite idea. It did take me awhile longer than I thought it would but I guess that's true for most projects.

My Inspiration!

The Finished Camera and Display.

I also brought my Instax Mini 8 to school to take some pictures for the display and it was a hit with the students. Ms. Schwoerer snapped a pic of some photos hot off the presses.

We also had a discussion about swapping out some more titles in another part of the library to go in tandem with some stuff the kids are doing in science classes. Should be fun. I pulled some books for that. More to come on that next week. We will also be going in the classroom at the end of the month to talk about citing solid sources. More to come on that as it develops.

I also locked down a time to go to Pacheco Elementary and have a chance to see the library and speak with their Library Media Tech Shelly Stevenson. I am looking forward to being back in the elementary library space and I am hoping that after I get a chance to talk to her and see the kids and talk library strategy that I can shelve some books for her as a thank you.

We had a few students show up part way through the day that had not picked a book for in class literary project. It was fun to help the kids pick out books and luckily this library has a great selection so it wasn't terribly hard.
